He died reading the final volume of a novel — and woke up inside it.
Now he's Lysander Valemont, the "capricious omega" everyone despises: a political pawn married off to the most feared man in the empire. In the original story, Lysander lived a loveless marriage, suffered in silence, and died in childbirth. A tragic side character no one mourned.
But this Lysander has read ahead. He knows the ending. And he refuses to let it happen.
Instead of arrogance, he offers kindness. Instead of resentment, patience. Instead of the cold war the original Lysander waged against his husband, he chooses warmth — even when the stoic Duke Kael Aetherion doesn't seem to notice. Even when the court whispers that an omega of his standing should know his place.
Except Kael does notice. Every small gesture, every gentle word, every moment Lysander defies what everyone expects of him — Kael sees it all. And the cold, distant villain of the original novel begins to crack.
As political enemies circle, old flames resurface, and the imperial court turns its attention to the duke's unconventional marriage, Lysander discovers that rewriting a story is far more dangerous than reading one. Especially when the feelings he's developing for his husband were never part of the plan.
